When burned or left to decompose, agricultural waste releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. To address this issue, #YALI alumnus Cletus Baalongbuoro takes waste from across Ghana and transforms it into cooking fuel. As the founder and CEO of Ponaa Briquettes (formally Clean Coal Power), he makes efficient use of organic waste by recycling it into a smokeless, low-cost alternative charcoal that can be used for cooking, replacing wood burning. This process also decreases deforestation in Ghana. Through Ponna Briquettes, Cletus has created jobs for countless women, educated Ghanaian youth, and reduced household expenses on cooking fuel.
USAID’s investment in YALI will ensure that young Africans continue to gain the leadership skills needed to lead stable and democratic societies, propose innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues, and transform their communities, countries, and the continent.
